Management port 1 on the E2700 controller connects the appliance to the management network for SANtricity Storage Manager. You must set a static IP address for the E2700 controller to ensure that you do not lose your management connection to the hardware and the controller firmware in the StorageGRID appliance.

About this task

DHCP-assigned addresses could change at any time. Assign a static IP address to the controller to ensure consistent accessibility.

Steps

  1. From the client, enter the URL for the StorageGRID Appliance Installer:
    https://E5600SG_Controller_IP:8443

    For E5600SG_Controller_IP, use the IP address for the appliance on any StorageGRID network.

    The StorageGRID Appliance Installer Home page appears.

  2. Select Hardware Configuration > Storage Controller Network Configuration.

    The Storage Controller Network Configuration page appears.

  3. Depending on your network configuration, select Enabled for IPv4, IPv6, or both.

  4. Make a note of the IPv4 address that is automatically displayed.

    DHCP is the default method for assigning an IP address to this port.

    Note It might take a few minutes for the DHCP values to appear.

  5. Optionally, set a static IP address for the E2700 controller management port.

    1. Select Static.

    2. Enter the IPv4 address, using CIDR notation.

    3. Enter the default gateway.
